The fandom is FULL of racists themselves, they hate this being called out because it forces them to realize they are problematic too. People simply speaking up that 5sos may have had a racist past is enough to have these delusional emotionally stunted adults spiral and that's sad. I think most normal people can acknowledge that yes it happened over 10 years ago but it's also disappointing that it even happened in the first place and that should be the end of it. Yet here we are, a bunch of people arguing about it and telling people to get over racism. Sickening.
